Went to 12 min quarters for the 2nd half

So vegas considers it no action.  College games must go at least 55 minutes

Wow what the actual fvck?!

Duderonomy · Answer

To clarify... at halftime, the refs asked Clemson if they would be willing to shorten the game, if SC St agreed. They asked SC St, and they agreed. So in the 2nd half, they shorted each quarter by exactly 3 minutes, which conveniently made the game a total of 54 minutes...

Vegas requires 55 minutes for a game to be considered official!

Gotta be one of the fishiest outcomes to a game... but I can't imagine Vegas took a ton of action on this game, so it is hard to fathom this was intentionally rigged, despite the fishiness!

Still... consider this... if you bet on Clemson, you are winning by 45 at halftime, and the refs shorten the game specifically because Clemson is doing exactly what you needed them to do when you laid the points. And they shorten it by exactly the amount needed for you to not get the cover...

Hard to imagine a more f***ed up way to get no action on a winning bet...

Depends on the book, but some paid out on Clemson, and no actioned SCst bets.  South Point was the book I read about.Mine was cancelled

Duderonomy · Answer

I find that very hard to believe... were they being charitable?  They paid out the winners but cancelled the losers?  Seems like someone made a mistake, if that is the case...If it was intentional, that has to be a gambling first!

VEGASJASON · Answer

Some books have done that before, usually offshore ones for publicity. My online bets on the game got paid on Clemson. This is one reason I never make FBS-FCS more than a 1* bet, also the low limits.

VEGASJASON · Answer

Clemson played pretty pathetic on offense, usually a game has to be more than 45-0 at halftime for them to do this sorta thing. I dont think the refs are sitting there  getting a call from someone before the game saying hey we have tons of money on Clemson help us out.

Duderonomy · Answer

That is certainly a generous move by the South Point... and classy, too!  And I agree, a low limit FCS-FBS game with an 8 TD spread, that had opened betting one day earlier, does not raise red flags for Vegas rigging...

Its happened a few times before.  BC/Howard was shortened 10 minutes last year with BC winning 62-0 at half.  2 more games the year before...

THEMUGG · Answer

It leads one to wonder if they should allow these teams to schedule like this anymore. Seriously, it must be a safety issue if they have to shorten the game.

Duderonomy · Answer

@thorpe... 62-0 seems more justifiable than 45-0

@themugg... I can understand how it was beneficial to Clemson as they are on a short turnaround and facing a more difficult opponent... so that seems to be the only real justification

I dont think it should be allowed period ! If you are playing Clemson next week, how do you feel that they got to rest a little bit ?Nothing to do with the Gambling...I always thought the off shore books had an air tight software package until I cashed on a Steven Bodwitch win on a Scott brown bet... Was nice to get 2500.00 on a dollar bet for a player I did not play...Was almost dumb enough to be honest and tell them...

DanoRoo · Answer

If I had purchased a ticket to that game I would be demanding a partial refund this morning.

BWS77 · Answer

Florida State should have asked for a running clock

Same thing happened 100 years ago when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.  Now *that* would have been a bad beat for Tech backers.

Duderonomy · Answer

I was thinking the same thing...

Duderonomy · Answer

HA!  The GT bettors were celebrating when they had the (-126) spread covered at halftime...

threebettin · Answer

I bet 2nd half Arkansas-10In the 4th quarter they decided to play a 10 min questions.. wtfI have never seen that done before..  they graded my bet as a loss.. I do understand for a game it&#x27;s 55 mins.. but how can this 2nd half bet stand?

Win4Ever · Answer

Clemson has had some suspicious activity early. If people recall week 1? Not kicking that FG that would of pushed or allowed most tickets to cover. Then Auburn moves ball down and gets 2 shots at a hailmary for outright win. One of the stranger backdoor jobs ever. Watching game looked like Clemson severely outplayed them only to not cover.

Week 2, gutless display vs Troy.

Week 3, agrees to shorten a game to just enough for a no cover.

Week 4? Probably will blow out GT now that everyone is suspicious of them

Win4Ever · Answer

By no cover above I mean no action.
